The first armoring hood has been completed. My first dip into 14th century head wear. Also the first time I have used a Royal as a test project for someone else (usually its the other way around, but the second hood is actually more complicated). But the kinks have been worked out and the patter refined. Project highlights:
1. Side 1 1/2 of green/yellow stripes, 1/2 yellow and black crenelations.
2. The hood is reversible, with side 2 in solid black.
3. Crenelations, gores and edging hand sewn. main hood seam lines are machine sewn.
